My card features Snowy Hug which is available at the Magnolia-licious online store but currently on re-order. I loooooove this image b/c it reminds me of the snowmen we make every year at the first snowfall. I used non-holiday papers from my stash which were cut and ready to go but can't remember if they were part of a class kit so I don't have any info on the papers, flowers or buttons. The rhinestone snowflakes are a recent find at my local dollar store. The felt ribbon is a recycled piece from my daughter's blouse. It was 2 long pieces used to tie a bow at the back but one half of it came off so I clipped the other half and will save it to use for more cards. My family ROFL at my idea but I love it and I know my friend Leah would be ooooh so proud of my attempt to recycle and reuse ~ hahaha!
I meant to stamp the Imaginisce Be Merry sentiment with Vintage Sepia Versafine to match the CS but used Versafine Black Onyx. It was a bit stark so my friend Zoe suggested I haze it a bit with the brown so its now blurry/smudgey/hazey on purpose in case you're wondering ~ lol. BTW a little TIP: I find Versafine ink works the absolute best for clear stamps and sentiments and doesn't leave that bubbly look impression like other inks.
I'm entering the following challenges:
- Magnolia Stamp Lovers ~ Punches
- Pile it On ~ Winter
- Totally Papercrafts ~ Snow & Snowflakes
- Crafts and Me ~ Glitter
